Hippy or scrawny, busty or flat, the general principle governing the feminine body is not subject to change. How one looks is the chief physical weapon in female-against-female competition. Appearance, not accomplishment, is the feminine demonstration of desirability and worth. In striving to approach a physical ideal, by corsetry in the old days or by a cottage-cheese-and-celery diet that begins tomorrow, one arms oneself to fight the competitive wars. Feminine armor is never metal or muscle but, paradoxically, an exaggeration of physical vulnerability that is reassuring (unthreatening) to men. Because she is forced to concentrate on the minutiae of her bodily parts, a woman is never free of self-consciousness. She is never quite satisfied, and never secure, for desperate, unending absorption in the drive for a perfect appearance—call it feminine vanity—is the ultimate restriction on freedom of mind.

-Susan Brownmiller, Femininity

Conversation I had with my 6 year old cousin:

*context: I have never shaved my arms and never will

Him (sitting in my lap): you have hairy arms. Lots of hair

me: yeah, they’re cool aren’t they

Him: Mummy doesn’t have hairy arms

me: no, some people do and some people don’t, it’s their choice. Do you think it would be better if I didn’t have any and took it off?

Him: nooooo they’re soft *starts stroking them* I like it

God he’s so cute, I wish he was my son

But anyway, I wanted to share because it’s my catalyst for a mini rant about body hair positivity, and he may be six but his comment really made me feel much better about myself! So a major reminder that body hair image, positive or negative, is just socialisation. You’re not unclean or dirty for having it, and god you are not any less feminine for keeping it. I will always be proud of the way my guy is growing up, and its in situations like these this I’m so greatful for it, but I know others may not have the same positive/affirming experiences I do.

The stigma around female body hair is real. For anyone that’s struggling with their body hair, whether you choose shave it or don’t, remember it’s YOUR body, YOUR choice, and all that matters is how you feel about it. Hairless? Great! Hairy? Cool! To very cringefully or tastefully quote Dr Seuss, those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind. It’s literally your business and only yours. Like why are you mad I still have it? Did you want some to knit with?

I personally think the natural female body is the 8th wonder of the world.

There’s so much to say on this topic, but in short, this post is just a gentle reminder that if you want it: keep it. Facial, back, hands, stomach, chest, arms, armpits, toes, legs, nose, eyebrows. This is what makes you beautiful（╹◡╹）♡ And bonus points! It keeps you warm!!! How cool is that?

Also remember my cousin thinks it’s nice, so there’s that to. He’s cheering you on at the sidelines

Egon Schiele (1890 - 1918) was an Austriac painter and an early exponent of Expressionism. I have selected two statements made by Magdalena Dabrowski and Rudolf Leopold about Schiele's art. The passages can be found in "Egon Schiele - The Leopold Collection, Viena" published by DuMont Buchverlag in association with The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

"Arguably, one of the greatest talents of his time, Schiele, who died at the early age of twenty-eight, created an absolutely prodigious output: his total oeuvre is said to include more than 3,000 works on paper and some 300 paintings. Schiele was, first and foremost, an exceptional draftsman; in fact, even his paintings rely on drawing as their principal structural component. Color is used to enhance the expressiveness and the mood of the pictures and, occasionally, to structure space. Schiele's principal subjects include portraits (among them, numerous self-portraits), figural/allegorical works, and landscapes. These works often make use of symbolic representation and metaphor to convey the malaise of modern man in all its raw and painful truth. " (Magdalena Dabrowski)

"The Expressionists Kokoschka and Schiele were the first to incorporate the tragic and ugly into their work as a way of evoking stronger emotions; one might even say that they invented the use of ugliness as an element of pictorial composition and introduced its potential to the art of our century. The images they created in their determination to express the depths of experience are as compelling and valid today as they were then. The current widespread interest in the two artists and frequently lavish praise accorded them are proof that our present-day tastes in art are in agreement with those of the Expressionist avant-garde of the early part of the century." (Rudolf Leopold)
